1 Liner Technology

2 Transform your garden into paradise with a garden pond. Putting in a pond and a gushing cascade you can enjoy the natural serenity water in the garden. Please read further to see a great range of pond linings. Just remember we do cut to size, and we can get them joined to make large sizes. Installation Instructions 1. Shape Once you have determined the location and shape of the pond. the outlines have to be marked. A garden hose and some wooden stakes are a good help. Also bog or shallow water zones can be marked in this way. In this phase, corrections can still be made without any problems. Liner Technology 2. Excavation Now, the final marking will be made with vertical spade cuts. The layers of soil will then be removed one after the other. Thereafter, the bog and shallow water zones have to be covered with on approximately 10cm thick layer of gravel or pond substrate. This must be taken Into account for the depth of the excavation. It is of special Importance that the pond edges are actually at the same level (check by using a spirit level). 3. Basis Removing all pointed Items and roots from the pond floor is the next step. Then, a sand layer should be put in for protection of the liner. In addition, we recommend the garden pond underlay, an extremely resistant and anti-rotting synthetic material. 4. Laying the Liner The pond liner will be spread apart and pulled over the pond hollow. The liner should be placed with an excess length of approximately 30 to 50 cm all round, then, when water Is filled into the pond, the liner pulls itself gradually into the right position. So that the pond doesn t loose water, a so called capillary break should be installed. This means that the liner in the edge area Is not just covered with soil and runs out flat, but the liner edge should be put upright and cut off just above the soil. The upper liner edge must always be higher than the highest water level. 5. Shore building Especially for The edge area, we recommend embankment mats, which can be supplied made from Nylon or coconut fibre as well as the embankment bag, into which pockets have been made, which can be filled with plants and suspended Into the pond. After sometime, when the Calculating plants have grown, the liner Your edges are not Liner visible any more.

4 Xavan Liner Smart landscaping for ponds DuPont Xavan Pond Liner is a double coated non-woven structure based on Xavan, ideal solution for smart pond landscaping. This Space Age technological advance renders other membrane alternatives far inferior, and is also one of the few liners that is really environmentally friendly. This unique and composite structure gives a high resistance to penetration or damage by root systems. Its high tensile strength and high tear and puncture resistance makes it an exceptionally strong structure, whose properties are vital during the lifetime of the pond. Compared to alternatives and with performances surpassing the requirements, DuPont Xavan Pond Liner is very light. This lightness guarantees an easier installation, in terms of manpower and installation time. Especially its flexibility allows a better and quicker finishing around complicated pond edges, and at pipe connection. It also enables professional designers to innovate with imaginative and complicated shapes. Finally, DuPont Xavan Pond Liner is chemically inert and does not leach biodegrade or rot in the aquatic flora. It is very resistant to attacks by acid and base solutions. DuPont Xavan Pond Liner can last up to 25 years and is readily recyclable.

5 Pond Liner Accessories Joining Techniques 10cm Joining Tape or Glue Joining Tape Aqualiner Joining Tape, a double sided butyl tape is an ideal way to join liner, making it versatile as to what shape you can do. Suits PVC or Xavan Liners-5&10m Rolls. ALJT05, ALJT10 PondLiner Fix PondLiner Fix is a way of joining PVC and EPDM liner. This adhesive applied at 6mm enough for 10-12m. As with all joins the surfaces must be clean. UBLF01, Liner Underlay Although liner is very strong every liner needs protection from sharp objects. The best way to do this is with a pond liner fabric underlay. Liner Glue Another way of joining PVC liner is using liner glue. As with all joins the surfaces must be clean. PVC Liner Glue - 125ml, 500ml, 1000ml, UBLG01, UBLG05, UBLG10 PondLiner Clean PondLiner Clean is for cleaning the pond liner surface before gluing pond liner. 500ml does approx. 30m². UBLC01, Repair Kits For when something goes wrong we do have liner repair kits available.

8 Quickset Watercrete Membranes & Pond Paints MULTI PURPOSE PATCHING CEMENT that sets in five minutes even underwater! Bonds to Concrete, Masonry, Wood, Steel and Fibreglass INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Remove all loose material from the area to be treated to ensure a solid bond. Slowly add one part of water to 4 parts of Quickset WATERCRETE and mix for I to 2 minutes to the CONSISTENCY OF PUTTY. Add more product if mix is too wet as wet mix seriously reduces effectiveness. Avoid contact with skin. Press the mix firmly into the prepared area. The product can be moulded to shape. When filling a hole against running water, hold the mixed product in position with a trowel or piece of timber until it cures. The product hardens rapidly after 4 mins. If sealing a leak underwater, increase the size of the hole on the surface to create a taper. Before applying Quickset WATERCRETE to dry work, generously soak the location with water. Damp conditions assist curing. For repairs less than 1.5cms thick in a dry situation, it is best kept damp for 24 hours.
